Christmas wreaths
Polystyrene wreaths were used as the base for the Christmas wreaths.
Holes were first drilled into these
to insert plastic tubes. After that,
molten candle wax was applied. The materials
were glued or placed on silver-colored aluminum wire
that was inserted through the candle wax into the polystyrene.
Roses,
orchids, Tillandsia, snowberries and
Alocasia leaves were placed in the tubes.
Christmas tree alternative
A simple wooden disc has a wire –
end as a central point, around which is a
prop of silver-colored aluminum wire processed
with the crush technique – kneading a number of meters
of wire into the correct shape. Numerous
decorative materials can be incorporated into this
alternative mini Christmas tree: small
Christmas balls, pine cones, Tillandsia leaf and Alocasia leaves.
A golden edge
The base of this frame bouquet consists of two wreaths attached to each other with gold-colored olive leaves. By putting them on wire, a handle has been created; a quick way to make a beautiful frame for this Mother's Day bouquet.
Many different materials have been used, including many beautiful varieties in tubes – this offers many possibilities for shop work. Here are applied: Craspedia, Gloriosa, Clematis fluff, Phalaenopsis, Passiflora vines, roses, Guzmania and beautiful Alocasia leaf.
Luxury Xmas
The metal wire mesh skirt, through its luxurious yet pure materials, reflects the ultimate Christmas feeling. The base is made of Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Gracilis' and Pinus densiflora 'Alice Verkade'. Cucumis fruits and Alocasia leaves complete it. 'Let the champagne bottle pop!'
Nature de luxe
The base of this creation is an Oasis sphere decorated with Abies procera (nobilis) branches. A light structure of apple tree branches has been placed on the ball. Tillandsia xerographica plays a leading role in the composition together with the beautiful leaf of the Alocasia 'Polly'.
The structure is decorated with Christmas balls, hanging crystal
pendants and silver ornaments
and some white Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium orchids. The silver glow of the materials used combines perfectly with the vase color and gives a luxurious look.
Floral cushion
With paper coffee filters, a structure has been realized that gives the impression of a large and soft cushion. Water tubes with flowers of Clematis 'Amazing Tokyo', tendrils of Ceropegia woodii and Alocasia 'Polly' leaf are evenly attached in this. The paper structure also has a lot of effect with relatively few flowers.
